| It's very interesting to study names of different countries. Chinese names are different 1 foreign names. Once an English lady came to 2 me. When I was introduced to her, she said, "Glad to meet you, Miss Ping." Then she gave me her name card with three words on it: "Betty J. Black." So I said " Thank you, Miss Betty." We looked at each other and laughed heartily (会意地). Later I found that the English people 3 their family names last and the given name 4 , while their middle names are 5 used very much. I explained to her that the Chinese family name 6 first, the given name last, so he 7 never call me Miss Ping. She asked if we Chinese had a middle name. I told her we didn't. 8 people may often find three words on a Chinese name card. In this case the family name still comes first, the other words after it 9 a two-word given name. It is quite usual in China. My sister is Li Xiaofang. She has two words in her given name instead of just one 10 mine. |
